I got one because my doctor recommended it.Now,I haven't always been up to date with flu shots.But,for some reason I feared I was going to get it,so I better get the shot.I know it may seem crazy to some,but I just felt the need to do it.

I'm not getting it, even though my job offers it for free as my boss keeps pointedly reminding me. I don't think anyone's crazy for getting the shot--I'm not anti-vaccine--but I just don't feel the need. I'm young and healthy, so if I do get the flu the chances are good that I'll be fine.

I had it once, in college, and it sucked, so I'll probably kick myself if I get the flu this year.

I probably will give in to the pressure (our clinical directors highly recommend it). Besides, I'll be giving the shots at a clinic this year, so it will be pretty convenient. This will be my first flu shot as far as I can remember.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not;
and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.
-Henry David Thoreau

The Rite Aid near me is having a clinic next week. I'm all over it. I've had the flu before, and my asthma has gotten much worse over the last year (ER visit and pneumonia in May), and I don't have sick days, so yes. I'm getting it. My winter health seems to be better when I get it, too.

When I get the flu, I almost always get pneumonia or at least pretty severe asthmatic bronchitis. I get it every year I don't get the shot, so I'll get the shot. Sometimes that prevents it, sometimes it's not the needed strain, but it at least improves my chances.

The pews never miss a sermon but that doesn't get them one step closer to Heaven.

*sigh* My roommate is likely running a fever right now, and we all know what that could mean....I hope I get to decide! Right now, it's not a "shot or no shot" debate in my head, it's a "please, oh pleeeeease don't let me catch this nasty intestinal flu that (no joke) started in our rival school!" beg-fest.
